I had this kind of problems too; like the installation stuck at a sertain point.
Mostly I forgot to check the CD on burning errors
If that is also your problem burn a new CD on the lowest burning speed.

for a VISTA install dual boot

use the vista partition tool that is built in to vista to resize the partition .then leave that new space blank .
then retry the fedora install dvd .
